CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite papers on all aspects of writing studies for the ninth annual conference of CASDW/ACR, the largest gathering of writing studies scholars in Canada. In particular, we invite papers on research and writing theory and pedagogy that connect with our theme, The Presence of Writing. This theme encompasses research and theoretical studies about the nature, place, role, and impact of writing, whether in the academy or other professional and public contexts.
Papers might address topics relating to the presence of writing and discourse such as the role of:
* writing and discourse in cultural and political debates
* writing and globalization and multilingualism
* writing in digital places and in the context of multimodality
* writing in institutional, professional, and cultural settings
* writing development across the lifespan including in K-12, undergraduate and graduate curricula
* writing within and across disciplines
* writing assessment
* writing centres and teaching and learning centres
* student writing and institutional approaches to plagiarism
* the development of future writing teachers, scholars, and leaders
We invite papers that draw on work in writing studies, genre studies, rhetorical theory, writing centre theory and practice, professional and technical writing research and practice, cultural studies, and faculty and TA development. We welcome papers that connect with CASDW's heritage as a place for sharing research on technical and professional writing as well as those that connect with its more inclusive mission to examine all forms of discourse and writing and to explore pedagogical practices and innovations.
The proposal deadline is January 27, 2017 (See Proposal Requirements)
